Everyone,  Meet Katie + Corey

Last weekend we had the pleasure of photographing this lovely couple who won our hearts and asked us to be apart of the biggest day of their lives, of course we agreed!

The big question we all want to know is How did he do it ?

He proposed in Mattoon (where I was born and my parents grew up). Every year they put on a light show during the holidays in the park where you can drive through and see the light displays. We went through the light show with my parents and drove back around to the beginning to take pictures in front of the Peterson House (a historical building in the park). My parents were across the street to take our picture and after they took the first one, he got down on his knee and asked me to marry him. Which was followed by crying and me saying, “Yes!”

Now tell us about your first date, where was it and what did you two do?

Our first real date was my 21st birthday. We met in Springfield with a group of friends and went out. This was also the night of our first kiss and the first night he sang to me.

Where did the lovely couple meet? and how long have they been dating…? We are dying to know..

We met at work a few years ago. We have been officially dating for just over year and a half. We started our relationship on June 11, 2014.

A while back we asked Corey what was a few things he loved most about Katie and his answer was “I love her smile, and her confidence. I love that she is great with kids and very creative. I also love that she’s usually very patient with me.” Also, in return we asked Katie the same question her response was “I love how laid back he is and his ability to always be calm. He’s very patient and caring. I love that we are opposite in many ways and he definitely balances me out”.

What about a funny story about the two of you??

We went skydiving together in April 2014 which was our first real adventure together. I’ve told him he’s lucky we went together then because it’s not happening again. We also went to a drag queen show together a few months before we were officially dating. This was the first time he told me about his family and our return trip was the first time he experienced my driving which was a really fun time for the both of us.

What are your favorite things to do together?

We like to cook together, watch movies, and play with our dog, Ella.

Isn’t that so sweet? We can’t wait for their wedding day!

Thanks for reading and continue to follow our blog to meet the rest of our amazing couples!
